When Grandpa Li and the rest heard Su Yayan’s words, they thought that they wouldn’t be able to taste the fragrant braised food today.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, there was a silver lining.
The corners of their lips could not help but curl up. However, they still maintained a little aloofness as they said, “How can I accept this?”
Old Master Cheng couldn’t stand their shameless behavior and snorted loudly. “Don’t take it if you can’t accept it. Take it or leave it!”
When Grandpa Li heard him say that, the smile on his face faded a little. He could not help but argue with him again. “Old Cheng, your words are meaningless. To think that you’re Yanyan’s grandfather. You’re not cute
at all.”
“No matter how cute she is, Yanyan is still my granddaughter.” Hmph!
Grandpa Li choked and glared at Old Master Cheng.
This old man’s temper was like a stone in a latrine pit. It was smelly and hard, yet he had such a cute, sensible, and capable granddaughter. He wondered if he had done many good deeds in his previous life to deserve
this.
At the thought of having such a granddaughter who could cook him such delicious food every day, Grandpa Li was filled with envy and jealousy. He was so angry that his eyes turned red.
It was the same for the other elders. There was no lack of people who came from wealthy families, and most of their families were very harmonious.
His only regret was that he did not have a junior who could cook so well. He was not blessed with good food!
Old Master Cheng met everyone’s resentful gazes without any psychological burden. The frustration of not catching any fishes in the morning and being ridiculed completely dissipated.
‘So what if you’re good at fishing? There’s still no one to cook for you!”
Su Yayan noticed her grandfather’s smug and arrogant expression. She went back to the kitchen and took out the remaining braised food from the pot. She divided them into several boxes and gave them to the elders.
Fortunately, she originally thought that she could bring some food to visit her neighbors with Huo Chenhuan when she was free. There was quite a lot of braised food in the pot, but it was barely enough for everyone to
have a portion each.
The few of them took their things and praised Su Yayan on the spot. They promised Old Master Cheng that they would come back tomorrow to fish.
Old Master Cheng, “…” Who made an appointment with you? I don’t want to see you these days!
The few of them smiled and made an appointment for tomorrow’s schedule. Then, they hurriedly rushed home with the food container in their hands, afraid that someone would throw a wrench at them and snatch it
away.
Watching them leave, Old Master Cheng scolded angrily, “These old men are useless!”
“That’s alright, Grandpa.” Su Yayan held Old Master Cheng’s hand and led him to the dining table. “Let’s eat. It won’t taste good when it gets cold. Don’t you want to eat Yuxiang Shredded Pork? Here, try this.”
Su Yayan led Old Master Cheng to the main seat and sat to his right. At the same time, she turned to look at Huo Chenhuan.
Huo Chenhuan understood and walked over to sit beside her, while Cheng Junhao and Qin Xueru sat on the other side.
Old Master Cheng listened to his granddaughter’s advice and reached out his chopsticks toward the Yuxiang Shredded Pork.
However, he was stunned when he ate it. The meat that had been marinated was soft and tender. Coupled with the fish sauce stir-fried with chili, scallions, garlic, and so on, it was salty, sweet, sour, and spicy.
It was just a single dish, yet he could taste several flavors. Moreover, these flavors were not mixed at all. Instead, they were surprisingly harmonious.
“Is… is this really pork?”
Su Yayan chuckled and said meaningfully, “That’s right. There’s no fish in the kitchen today. It can’t be made from fish, right?”.
